Next: music. You don’t necessarily need to listen to anything while you’re soaking in the tub or slathering on a face mask. But soft tones can work wonders if you’re feeling especially tense or just want to fill the silence. Try the Spa station on SiriusXM radio if you want to tap into that authentic experience fully, or simply put on a playlist you love.

2. Bring in the essentials

Then it’s time to consider what you might want to sip while you spa. Sure, you could bring in a glass of your favorite red wine, but you might find it more uplifting to sip a cool, crisp beverage instead. You can replicate the professional treatment by concocting a delicious spa water at home. Simply infuse a pitcher full of ice-cold H2O with sliced cucumbers, a splash of lemon or orange, or sliced strawberries. Keep it by your side so you can refill as needed.

Then gather the little extras that will keep you comfortable throughout. If you’re committed to making your spa days more frequent, you may want to invest in a high-quality, luxurious robe that you can wear while you treat your skin and after you slip out of the tub.

When you step out of the water, lock in moisture by hydrating your skin immediately after patting your skin until it’s slightly damp. A product like Farmhouse Fresh Honey-Magnolia Body Oil is a dream for particularly parched winter skin, and feels especially indulgent for a spa day.
